N2  - This study explores the potential of Pickering emulsions as a sustainable strategy for  stabilizing oil-water systems using solid particles instead of traditional surfactants,  offering advantages such as enhanced stability and reduced environmental impact.  Hydrophobic cellulose nanocrystalline (H-CNC), synthesized via alkylsilylation with  cholorotrimethylsilane (CTMS), was used as the stabilizer, with different CTMS loadings  tested to identify the optimal conditions for Pickering emulsion formation. The H-CNC  samples were characterized using various techniques to analyze their properties: Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the successful chemical modifications  and incorporation of hydrophobic functional groups; field emission scanning electron  microscopy (FESEM) revealed a uniform rod-like morphology and rough surface texture;  thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated enhanced thermal stability with higher  CTMS loading, indicating effective functionalization; and hydrophobicity testing showed  a significant increase in water contact angle, confirming improved surface  hydrophobicity. Palm oil-based Pickering emulsions stabilized with H-CNC-400  exhibited remarkable stability, with minimal phase separation observed over 14 days,  particularly at optimal CTMS loading. These findings highlight the efficiency of H-CNC400 as a stabilizer and the potential of Pickering emulsions as a sustainable alternative  for stabilizing oil-water systems
